What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Miramar building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
