What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
