Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Johnsonville building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
