Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
