Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Moera building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
