The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Miramar building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
