Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Johnsonville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
