Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Birchville building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
