The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Birchville building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
