Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert 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.
