What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Taradale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
