The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Mahora building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
