The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Seaview building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
