The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Seatoun building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
