Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
