Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Plimmerton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
