The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
