Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified St Leonards building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
