Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
