Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Plimmerton building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
