Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Aro Valley building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
