Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Iona building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
