Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
