Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Seaview building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
