What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
