What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
