The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Ascot Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers 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 problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household 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. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
