Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit 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 qualified Paremata building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check 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 caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
