The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, 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 house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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 can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
