The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Aro Valley building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
