Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
