What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Cannons Creek building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
