Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed 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 siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
