Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Plimmerton building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
