Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
