The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Cannons Creek building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
