The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Wallaceville building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
