The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Ebdentown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
