What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Johnsonville building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
