The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Moera building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
