Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

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 specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Flaxmere building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
