The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Strathmore Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
