Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Iona building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
