Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Arakura building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
