Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Glenside building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
