What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Iona building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
