What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Judgeford building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
