Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
