What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
