Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Hospital Hill building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
