Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
