Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
