What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
