What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
