What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
