The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Arakura building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
