Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. 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 with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Bridge Pā building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
