If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Birchville building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
