Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
