Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself 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 resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
