Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Timberlea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences.
