Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

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

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
