The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified St Leonards building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
