The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Roseneath building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
