The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
