Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
