Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
