Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Frimley building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences.
