The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
