What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
