What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten 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 piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
