What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Birchville building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
