What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Judgeford building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
