The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

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 expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
