The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

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 potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
