Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Arakura building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
