Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Birchville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
