Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Miramar building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
