What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Glenside building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
