The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Timberlea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
