The Reasons 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’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Makara Beach building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through 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 assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
