Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
