What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Glenside building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
