If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Birchville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
