Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Arakura building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
