Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Plimmerton building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
