Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Haywards building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and 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 issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
