The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Churton Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
