Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found 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 expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Seatoun building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
