Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
