Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
