Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
