The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Arakura building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, 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 removal cost.
