What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Strathmore Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
