The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Ascot Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
