Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Churton Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
