Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Homedale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
