The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Cannons Creek building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
