Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Johnsonville building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
