Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Ebdentown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
