Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Glenside building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
