The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Seaview building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to 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 poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
