Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Ascot Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
