The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Glenside building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
