It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Birchville building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
