Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Timberlea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Comprehensive Building Inspections Timberlea

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
