Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
