What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ascot Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
