Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of 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 your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
