Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Timberlea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
