Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
