Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Arakura building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
