Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Plimmerton building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house 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 in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
