What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Aro Valley building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
