Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
