Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Wadestown 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 assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
