Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Seatoun building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications 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 that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

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