Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
