What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
