The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: 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 surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
