Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Homedale building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
