The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Aro Valley building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
