Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household 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 pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
