Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Plimmerton building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
