Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Johnsonville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
