What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Birchville building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household 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 pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
