Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Timberlea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
