Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Johnsonville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
