The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
