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 reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Miramar building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
