Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Timberlea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
