The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Roseneath building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
