The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these 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. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
