The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
