Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication 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 damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
