Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Stokes Valley building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
