Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Glenside building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
