The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Homedale building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
