The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
