Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Miramar building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any 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 early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
