Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, 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 acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
