Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
