The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
