The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Paremata building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be 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, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
