Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Seaview building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
