Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Paparangi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. 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 that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
