The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Glenside building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
