Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Birchville building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
