What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
