What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Iona building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
