Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
