Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
