The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Anderson Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
