Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
