The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re 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: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
