Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
