What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
