Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Timberlea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
