Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting 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 pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
