Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Flaxmere building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
