What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Jervoistown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
