Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
