Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
