The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
