What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Seatoun building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
