The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
