Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
