Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Moera building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
