The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
