What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Miramar building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
