What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
