What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Hospital Hill building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
