The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Strathmore Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
