What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Seatoun building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
