What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
