The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Ascot Park building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
