Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Arakura building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this 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 early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
