The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Bay View building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
