The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Judgeford building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
