What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
