Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Arakura building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
