Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
