Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Seaview building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building 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 and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
