Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
