What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Moera building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
