The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
