What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
