Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Seatoun building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
