Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
