The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
