Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
