Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Iona building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any 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 early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
