Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Johnsonville building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
