The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears 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 fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Eskdale building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
