The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Wallaceville building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
