The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
