Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Arakura building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
