What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
