Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Johnsonville building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
