The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
