The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

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

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Berhampore building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
