What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of 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 house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
