What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Birchville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
