What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Miramar building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
