Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Stokes Valley building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
