The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Seatoun building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
