What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
