The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Seaview building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
