Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected 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 house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
