The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Miramar building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
