The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
