What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

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 professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Birchville building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household 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 pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
