The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
