The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Johnsonville building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
