What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
