The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with 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 built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
