The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Seaview building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
