Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Cannons Creek building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
