Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
