What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
