The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Iona building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
