The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
