If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Birchville building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
