What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
