Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Aro Valley building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
