What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
