Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified St Leonards building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
