Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
