The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Bay View building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
