Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
