Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
