The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Homedale building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
