Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
