The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Plimmerton building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
