Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, 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 a qualified Roseneath building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
