The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Ascot Park building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
