The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Homedale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
