Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Bay View building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
