Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Glenside building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
