Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
