The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Iona building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
