What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Akina building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
