What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Parkvale building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
