Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
