The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Seatoun building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
