The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Ascot Park building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
