Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Cannons Creek building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
