What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Plimmerton building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed 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 pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
