Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Stokes Valley building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and 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 gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
