Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
