Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Birchville building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
