The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
