Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Judgeford building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
