Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified St Leonards building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
