Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
