Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Seaview building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
