Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Arakura building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
