Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
