What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Glenside building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
