Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Plimmerton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
