The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Meeanee building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
