Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Arakura building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
