The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Johnsonville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
