What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Longlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check 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 and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
