Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home 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 pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
