Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Stokes Valley building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
