The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Timberlea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
