Based on what you find in a home inspection finds, you may be able use the report to assist you in negotiating with the seller about price or repair. Even if a report only finds minor issues, you are able to still use it as a guideline for future maintenance.

What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Manor Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
