Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Johnsonville building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
