Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Plimmerton building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
