The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Newtown 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. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
