Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Manor Park building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
