What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek 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 for removal.
