Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
