Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
