Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
