What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
