Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Cannons Creek building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
