Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Birchville building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
