Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Wadestown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
