Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
