Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Plimmerton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
