What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
