The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects 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, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
