Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Seaview building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
