Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Ebdentown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
