Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Ascot Park building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
