Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Glenside building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
