What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
