Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
