The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Homedale building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
