Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found 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 says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Cannons Creek building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
