Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Flaxmere building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
