What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Aro Valley building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
