Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Glenside building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
