What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
