What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Bay View building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
