Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Plimmerton building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter 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 issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
