Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Tomoana building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
