The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
