Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
