What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Plimmerton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
