What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Iona building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
