The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Ascot Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
