Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Parkvale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
