Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
