The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Wadestown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
