Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

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

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
