What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Jervoistown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
