The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
