Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" 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 can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
