Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
