What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to 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: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
