The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Glenside building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication 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

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
