What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Arakura building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be 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, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
