Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
