Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Roseneath building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
