What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Jervoistown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
