The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Arakura building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional 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.
