Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
