Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
