What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
