Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
