Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
