The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Moera building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
