What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Birchville building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
