Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Johnsonville building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
