What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Stokes Valley building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
