Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Ascot Park building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight 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 also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
