What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
