Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
