What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Ascot Park building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
