Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but 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 building inspection report prepared by a qualified Wadestown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
