What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
