The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
