Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you 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 home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
