Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
