The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an 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 make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
