What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Birchville building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
