Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ascot Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
