Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure 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.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
