The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Seaview building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through 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 best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
