Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Ascot Park building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
