What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
