Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
