Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Glenside building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
