Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Ebdentown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
