What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Iona building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of 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

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
