The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
