Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Plimmerton building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
