Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

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

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
