Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Jervoistown building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
