The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Poraiti building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
