Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Stokes Valley building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: 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 surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
