Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Akina building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
