What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
