The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
