Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Roseneath building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
