Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Ascot Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture 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 constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
