What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

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 says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
