Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Homedale building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on 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, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
