What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Longlands building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
