What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
