Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Miramar building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
