What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Iona building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
