What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Seaview 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. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
