Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
