Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Johnsonville building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
