What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Timberlea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
