Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Frimley building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
