Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Ascot Park building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
