Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Mahora building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
