The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
