Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
