Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Plimmerton building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
