Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
