What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
