Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
