What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Parkvale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
