What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Timberlea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
