The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Birchville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
