The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
