The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Wadestown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
