What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

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

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified St Leonards building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
