What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
