What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Seaview building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
