What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
