The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
