What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
