The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
