What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
