The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Seaview building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
