What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
