The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Birchville building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

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