Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Parkvale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
