What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Ascot Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
