What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Glenside building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Glenside

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
