The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Stokes Valley building inspector will highlight any flaws 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 house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
