What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
