What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Glenside building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building 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

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
