Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Johnsonville building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
