Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Arakura building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
