The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Bay View building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
