What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
