What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Seatoun building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
