Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Flaxmere building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
