The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
