What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Seatoun building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house 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.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
