The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
