Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house 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 houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
