What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
