The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Birchville building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
