What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
