Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
