What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
