Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Glenside building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
