Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Glenside building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
