Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Ebdentown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
