Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Ebdentown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
