Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Seaview building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
