Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
