Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
