The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
