Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

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

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
