The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
