Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Seatoun building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
