Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Johnsonville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
