Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
