What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Iona building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
