The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Seaview building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
