Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
