Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Judgeford building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
