What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Iona building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
