Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
