Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Johnsonville building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
