Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Flaxmere building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
