The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
