The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
