What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
