Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Bay View building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
