Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Johnsonville building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
