The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Birchville building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
