What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Greenmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
