Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Bluff Hill building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
