What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
