The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.
We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
Warnings & Red Flags
The following issues could be expensive to sort out:
Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.
Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.
Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.
Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
