Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from 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 are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
