Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
