What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Arakura building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
