Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Moera building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
