Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
