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 is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
