Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Ebdentown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
