The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
