Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Mount Victoria

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
