What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
