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 constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Hospital Hill building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
