Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Ascot Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
