What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
