What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Seaview building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
