What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with 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 have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
