The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
