Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Ascot Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
