The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
