Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
