Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Strathmore Park building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
