Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
