The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
