What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Johnsonville building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
