Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
