Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Iona building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
