Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
