The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

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