Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
