What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Birchville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
