Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Parkvale building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
