What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Seatoun building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
