Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Plimmerton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
