Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Stokes Valley building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
