What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Birchville building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
