What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Plimmerton building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
