What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Johnsonville building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
