Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Strathmore Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
