The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

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 nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Glenside building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
