Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Johnsonville building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
