It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Birchville building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance 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 caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
