Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Stokes Valley building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
