Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Berhampore building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
