The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Wadestown building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
