The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Wadestown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
