The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Stokes Valley building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
