The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.
