The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Cannons Creek building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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 to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
