Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Mount Victoria building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
