Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Iona building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
