Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Johnsonville building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
