The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Aro Valley building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
