Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified St Leonards building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
