The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Paremata building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
