Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Wadestown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
