What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
