Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
