The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

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 built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Plimmerton building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
