What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
