Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Judgeford building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
