The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
