Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
