The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread 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 poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
