Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Judgeford building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
