The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
