The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
