Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might 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 inspection report by a certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
